Piracy resulted in the loss of $28 billion of pay-TV revenue worldwide in 2017, according to Zan Godec, senior business development director, Nagra.
Speaking at MBT 2019 in Budapest, he added that 72% of operators see the value in anti-piracy efforts. Godec argued that there is no silver bullet to tackle piracy, which even affects FTA broadcasters.
Instead, there are legal actions, technological solutions, industry coordination, policy lobbying and consumer education.
For its part, Nagra offers a comprehensive suite of anti-piracy measures addressing social media, apps and web; broadcast (CWS) and streaming; commercial IPTV, Kodi; and linear sports and VOD.
